The case concerns a pilot observation of several moving points of light with varying brightness in a limited sector of the sky, identified by GEIPAN as flashes from Starlink satellites in operational orbit.

The airline pilot witness reported seeing points of light moving across the sky for 5 to 10 seconds, with greatly varying brightness before disappearance.
Claim #12938 // ATTRIBUTED CLAIM // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“The airline pilot witness (T1) reported observing, on January 31, 2023, during a TVF flight connecting Amman (Jordan) to Paris-Orly Airport, several points of light moving across the sky for 5 to 10 seconds and whose brightness varied greatly before”

A second person, identified as the pilot's colleague T2, also observed the phenomenon but did not provide testimony.
Claim #12939 // ATTRIBUTED CLAIM // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“The observation was also made by his colleague (T2), who will not provide testimony.”

The observation began at 20:10 UTC over the south of Milan and ended above Lake Geneva, lasting approximately thirty minutes.
Claim #12940 // ATTRIBUTED CLAIM // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“The observation began at 20:10 (UTC) while the aircraft was flying over the south of the city of Milan (Italy) and ended above Lake Geneva. It lasted approximately thirty minutes.”

GEIPAN states that the observation was of flashes from Starlink satellites and classifies the case as A.
Claim #12942 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“The case is classified A: observation of flashes from Starlink satellites in operational orbit.”

// [[T0002]] Explanation
The source reports that a Stellarium check placed the UAP video subject 45° vertically from the apparent position of the Sun, while the Sun was approximately 38° below the horizon.
Claim #12943 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“A check using Stellarium, after identifying the stars visible in the UAP video, confirmed that the latter was located 45° vertically from the apparent position of the Sun, while the Sun was approximately 38° below the horizon.”

// [[T0002]] Investigation explanation
GEIPAN states that the solar-position conditions were consistent with sunlight reflecting from structural elements of Starlink satellites, also known as “cluster flares.”
Claim #12944 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“These conditions are entirely consistent with those that produce the phenomenon of sunlight reflecting off structural elements of Starlink satellites, also known as “cluster flares.””

// [[T0002]] Investigation explanation
A satellite-pass check found numerous Starlink satellites near Markab along two main paths corresponding to the paths identified in the video.
Claim #12945 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“A check of satellite passes confirmed that numerous Starlink satellites were passing near the star Markab, along two main paths corresponding to those identified in the UAP video.”

// [[T0002]] Investigation explanation
The case record describes the case as having low strangeness and good consistency because there were several witnesses and video of the UAP.
Claim #12946 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“With low strangeness and good consistency (several witnesses, video of the UAP), this case turned out to be an observation of flashes from Starlink satellites”
